MBB: American Rivers Conference

[sportsknight]

I wouldn't say the #40's 32 points was quiet, it was anything but.  He was the only one who was scoring for them, so if you didn't notice that you must have been sleeping.

I didn't say I didn't notice Kilburg, I was just saying that I never would have guessed that he had 32.  If you asked me right after the game, I would have put him somewhere in the mid-20s.  That said, I'm not trying to take anything away from his performance.  I do think that he'd be all that much better if he could make his free throws.

[Walston Hoover]

I wasn't at the game, but Sportsknight wasn't the only one that I talked to that thought Kilburgs 32 were "quiet"

[The Show]

Was this last second shot anything like the ones Wiebers used to drop on the Knights?

[IIAC Observer]

I'll take Coe, Loras, Simpson, and Central tonight in a shocker...a little hangover on the road by the Knights.

I'll take BV, Wartburg, Simpson, and Loras...BV plays with a little pride and knocks off Coe at home

[Walston Hoover]

Its going to take more than a little pride for this year's Beavers to knock of the Kohawks.

[The Show]

I'll take the Beavers (even though they just lost to Dubuque for the first time since 1996 )

I still think they'll have some tricks in the bag come conference tournament time...

I'll also take Wartburg, Loras, and Simpson tonight.

[The Show]

Its going to take more than a little pride for this year's Beavers to knock of the Kohawks.

It took a good shooting night.  BV shoots 53% from 3-point range while Coe only hits 16%.

Looks like I pulled off a 4 for 4 prediction night, as did balla_1982...

[Charlie Kohawk]

Ouch!

[Walston Hoover]

WOW! So it was Coe that suffered a hangover from Saturday and not Wartburg.
Will this be the game that changes the tide of BV's season?

[balla_1982]

BV is always going to be tough at home, no matter what kind of season they are having and have always  took a lot of pride in defending the home court.  They were due for a big win sometime and Coe lives and dies by the 3, and last night they definately died.

[PainTrain]

Coe also got killed on the boards, much as they did early int he season. Coach Juckem must have made it a point of emphasis to improve throughout the year but they (without looking) got outrebounded 39-25 or something of that margin. Whenever I look at a box score, shooting percentage and rebounds are the only two categories that I truly look at. That and who won and lost, which is obviously important. Show-is J-S preparing to make the move down to 2A this fall??

[Charlie Kohawk]

Coe lives and dies by the 3, and last night they definately died.

With all due respect balla, I don't think this is a fair assessment of this year's Coe team. The Kohawks are third in the conference in scoring at 72.9 points per game, but they're tied for sixth in 3-point field goals made (6.29 per game). Of the 101 field goals made by their two leading scorers, Kilburg and Kuenstling, only nine were three pointers (all by Kuenstling). Coe may have died by the 3 at BV, but they've lived in the paint this season.

[The Show]

Unless something has changed recently, I think we're going to be about the bottom 3 (in size) in 3A   We still have the P-C that goes with the J-S.  However, we're 2A in everything else...go figure!

[balla_1982]

Oh, I was basing that on what I've seen from them in the past and then the from Tuesday's game.  Shooting 32 3's, or whatever it was, probably explained why they lost; it took them away from their two biggest threats.
